Curved and Straight Tonearms

"Now, in the old times the protractors or the ones that came with tonearms was not really accurated and people did not to much care making the cartridge/tonearm set-up because they ( including me. ) was only starting to understand the importance of that set up, even the profesional reviewers not talked about in their reviews. No one cares about and the " trouble " for some cartridges at the very end grooves was magnified."

This is absurdly incorrect and misleading although it is revealing because it shows that raulruegas discovered the importance of proper phono cartridge alignment in a Music Reproduction System fairly recently and now that he has made that startling to him discovery he now portrays himself as an expert on the matter when it is actually clear that he is confused and I am being polite by using that word. The importance of proper phono cartridge alignment in a  Music Reproduction System goes as far back at least as the earliest stereo records that employed the Westrex 45/45 system and early ariticles about the amazing Westrex 45/45 system almost always included information about the importance of proper phono cartridge alignment it is not a new or recent idea at all! In fact it was concern over not just proper alignment but that the problems caused by tracking error that the earliest linearly tracking arms/turntables were introduced. Rek-O-Cut made a linearly tracker in the 1950's and the Truline also dates to the 1950's and of course in the 1960's you had the original Rabco linearly tracking arms so to suggest that the importance of proper phono cartridge alignment is recent and that "no one"cared until lately is a  patently false claim. Raul is way behind the times here and clearly lacks the experience and knowledge he professes in this group and the claim raises questions about the techniques he employs to measure the "DISTORTIONS" that he seems to always be shouting about in this group.

" In this alignment on pivoted tonearms audio critical subject at least two gentlemans ( genesis 168 and clearthink ) decided no additional coments, yes this is their privilege"

I did not respond to you because it is patently obvious that you don't know what your talking about and when confronted with facts you respond in a way that clearly denies the facts that are readily apparent to literally everyone  who reads this board. For example you wrote that "Now, in the old times the protractors or the ones that came with tonearms was not really accurated and people did not to much care making the cartridge/tonearm set-up because they ( including me. ) was only starting to understand the importance of that set up, even the professional reviewers not talked about in their reviews. " You admitted that you didn't care about alignment and even claimed that no one else did either but as I showed you in my response that is completely false it is only true that you did not know about it and after you discovered the importance of proper alignment you now want to instruct everyone here on your special knowledge of alignment which has actually been generally known for decades as I previously pointed out to you. So there is no point in responding to you when you are confused and pretend you know everything there is to know about this subject that you just learned about relatively recently in time and yet you take credit for enlightening everyone here about the matter as you shout that we should enjoy the music and not DISTORTION. 

@clearthink: Dead silence?, well that's your privilege. Btw, you are not alone on that audio subject: at least one revier shares your knowledge level.

If you think that is my privilege why don't you be quiet and leave me alone why do you think it is my job to engage with you and when I ignore you you have the right to come in here and insult me and others? I can answer that you are immature and like many in your generation you have a strong sense of entitlement and when you are not treated in the royal way you insist on you stomp your feet in anger and preach to the group about your superiority. I expect this post in response to you will be deleted but I am telling you Raul to leave me alone I don't need your permission to act or not act as I see fit. thank you and I hope some day you can find gainful employment and move out of your mothers basement.

"last chance to show your ignorance level "

Sorry Raul I don't debate fools and I don't accept ultimatums so you can take your threat and do what you like with it but you are in no position to inform me that this is my "last chance" to do anything. I realize that you are a very sensitive person who's feelings have been badly hurt by the embarassments you have suffered here but you have really brought that on yourself and are in no position whatsoever to blame it on anyone else it is time you accept some responsibility for your own behavior and not harass others on this forum who are following the rules.

"It's no surprise for me that I found out these kind of non-accurate tonearm set up numbers in almost all japanese tonearms and only confirm what I posted here and that in the " old times " there were a not very clear of the importance of accuracy in the tonearm/TT/cartridge overall set up alignment."

That is funny Raul that you keep repeating this silly made-up "fact" when I have already proven to you in this very thread that this claim is wholly mistaken and yet you feel a need to keep repeating it as though you are some visionary who has brought the importance of proper tonearm alignment to the world of audio and that we should all be so grateful to you for sharing your wisdom with the group. I guess real facts aren't necessary when your world of "facts" includes such funny fantasies I suppose this is  the nature of "fake news."
